The guy on the left was a US Marine Lt. Colonel who was arrested and convicted for selling missiles to Iran.

The guy on the right is a Fox "news" *snicker* "military analyst" who says Iran shouldn't have missiles.

They're the same guy.

Please forgive Col. North. He has "no recollection" of his past life. 😂

Seriously though, people change their minds.
Some even have a change of heart.
You can't hold Lt. Col. Oliver North to what he once did.
Maybe prison time changed his views.

He didn't do any prison time.

Damn! Arrested and convicted, but not imprisoned?
Did he claim he was Princess Anastasia? 😆

@purrperl @draken If I recall, the missiles to Iran were part of a shell game to hide money funneled to the contras in Nicaragua =s part of a CIA regime change no?
So he did the thing at the behest of the Reagan admin really..

@tezoatlipoca @purrperl @draken We're all missing the point. The true scandal is not that he appeared on Fox playing a "military analyst" but that he didn't get an Emmy for his appearance as an "intelligence officer" on NBC in the first season of JAG. https://www.deseret.com/1995/8/30/19190244/scandal-hits-north-again-this-time-in-tv-drama/
SCANDAL HITS NORTH AGAIN - THIS TIME IN TV DRAMA

Oliver North is embroiled in scandal again - this time on television. North, who retired from the Marine Corps after the Reagan-era arms-for-hostages scandal, will play a retired military intelligence operative during a cameo appearance on ``JAG,'' a new NBC drama.
